I sure hope someone can help you out. Since there have been
very few found in the continental US. Some in the south west.
jackcrafty posted a photo of some from a NM.cave on the
" Bannerstone Discussion" thread. There are many found in
Alaska and Canada. Many reside in the Smithsonian collection.
From what I understand there are many from Central America
and Mexico. Might be worth while googleing for books about them.
Good luck Zuma

This site has a lot of designs and some good articles. 

Designs:  http://www.thudscave.com/npaa/designs/
Articles etc.: http://www.thudscave.com/npaa/index.htm


there is others stuff out there if you are willing to dig a little.  unfortunately not enough demand for a concise source pulling this all together.  But wouldn't that be cool. . .

How 'bout the book on the very last page of the Dec/Jan issue of PA Magazine? The Atlatl -  available through Horsefeatherranch.
